Sweet little baby monkey Jasmine was having a cheerful morning—until everything changed. One moment, her mom was by her side, grooming her gently and wrapping her in warmth. The next moment, without warning, Mom got up and walked away, leaving Jasmine sitting all alone on the cold wooden table.
At first, Jasmine blinked in confusion. She looked around, expecting her mom to return quickly. But the seconds stretched into minutes, and frustration began to rise. Her tiny face scrunched up, her fists clenched, and soon enough—she exploded into angry tears.
She started screaming loudly, her voice sharp and full of heartbreak. It wasn’t just about being alone. It was the confusion. The hurt. The fear that maybe she had done something wrong. Her mom hadn’t even looked back.
Jasmine crawled to the edge of the table, her little eyes scanning the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of her mother. But the space remained empty.
Caretakers nearby rushed to her side. One gently scooped her up and held her close, rocking her slowly. Jasmine’s sobs didn’t stop immediately, but she began to calm, feeling the warmth of a caring touch. She buried her face into the caretaker’s chest, her breath trembling.
Sometimes, even baby monkeys feel deep emotional pain when separated from the ones they trust most. And Jasmine, though small, was feeling that heartbreak in full.
